This study is related to the preparation of biocompatible gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) which are stable in aqueous solutions for a long time. Ultrasmall polyethyleneimine (PEI)-capped AuNPs (PEI-AuNPs) with limited agglomeration were prepared in aqueous solutions at room temperature, which were based on the roles of PEI as a reductant and a stabilizer. PEI-AuNPs with an average size of 8~12 nm formed highly stable nanocolloids with an average hydrodynamic cluster size of around 50 nm in aqueous media. At a low concentration of metal precursor hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III), the particle size was reduced noticeably. The typical peaks of gold were observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern of AuNPs. The cell viability of 98% was obtained in the case of PEI-AuNPs, while PEI was cytotoxic. The PEI-AuNP is considered to be a potential candidate as a contrast agent for computed tomography.

반투명 전도성 음극 (semi-transparent conducting cathode)인 Ba (x nm)/Au (20 nm)/ITO (100 nm)을 이용하여 전면발광 유기전계 발광 소자 (top-emitting organic light-emitting didodes, TEOLEDs)를 제작했다. Ba과 bis(8-quinolinolato)aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) 계면의 전자구조는 엑스선 광전자 분광법 (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS), 자외선 광전자 분광법 (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, UPS) 및 가까운 끝머리 엑스선 흡수 미세구조 (near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, NEXAFS) 스펙트럼의 광 방출 특성을 통하여 조사되었다. $Alq_3$/Ba 계면 특성에 있어서 XPS와 NEXAFS 특성에 의하면, $Alq_3$ (10.0 nm) 위에 Ba이 연속적으로 증착됨에 따라 Ba으로부터 $Alq_3$로의 전자전달 (electron charge transfer) 특성은 꾸준희 증가된다. 그러나 Ba의 두께가 1.0 nm 이상 초과되면 Ba의 전자전달에 기인한 반응성때문에 $Alq_3$의 분자구조가 해리된다. 한편, 제작된 TEOLEDE의 전류-전압-휘도 곡선의 경우에서도 바륨의 증착 두께가 1.0 nm일 때 가장 우수한 구동특성을 나타냈다.

Electrical properties of Pt/Ti/Au/Pt contacts to n-GaAs were characterized as the V/III ratio of GaAs grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were 25, 50, and 100, respectively. The samples have been annealed during 30sec at 350 and $450^{\circ}C$ in rapid thermal annealing, and those specific contact resistance investigated by using transmission line method. According to experimental results, the specific contact resistance between p-metal and GaAs was decreased as the V/III ratio was lower. These results indicate that Si doping concentration of GaAs increased as the vacancy of V-series of GaAs was high.

Using non-destructive analytical methods, we identified the material characteristics of two gold fabric artifacts excavated from the Cheongsong Sim clan (Bugeum Wonsam, Jikgeum Chima), including the artifact condition, fiber type, surface contamination, and metallic threads. We found that the artifacts were buried and had turned brown; thus, we were unable to determine their original color. The fiber type was determined to be silk from cocoons, based on scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses of Amide I, II, III, and IV peaks, and color reactions Further, the FT-IR and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses identified the white and black stains as natural resin hydrolyzed substances, such as lipids and proteins, that occurred as microbial decomposition due to body decay. Finally, the XRF analyses identified the thin gold layer of the metallic yarn as gold (Au). According to the FT-IR data and the color reaction to the metallic yarn medium, the adhesive component of the medium was a product of-Amides I, II, III, and 3000 cm^-1 within Amides A and B (an animal type), respectively. Thus, the medium was identified as Hanji (Korean paper), which is made from domestically produced Broussonetia kazinoki fibers.

We report a highly selective and sensitive 200 MHz Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor that can detect cyanide ion in aqueous solution using surface immobilized thioester molecules in combination with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). To construct the sensor device, a monolayer of thioester compound was immobilized on the SAW sensor surface. At the sensor surface, hydrolysis of thioester group by nucleophilic addition of cyanide occurred and the resulting free thiol unit bound to AuNP to form thiol-AuNP conjugate. For the signal enhancement, gold staining signal amplification process was introduced subsequently with gold (III) chloride trihydrate and reducing agent, hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The SAW sensor showed a detection ability of $17.7{\mu}M$ for cyanide in aqueous solution and demonstrated a saturation behavior between the frequency shift and the concentration of cyanide ion. On the other hand, our SAW sensor had no activities for other anions such as fluoride ion, acetate ion and sulfate ion, moreover, no significant interference observed by other anions. Finally, all the experiments were carried out in-house developed sensor and fluidics modules to obtain highly reproducible results.

This study was planned to identify the variety of Italian ryegrass using electrophoresis. Thirty seven varieties of Italian ryegrass were tested by starch gel electrophoresis. The specific electrophoretic zymograms of each variety were observed by Alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and Esterase. The results were surnrnerized as follows; 1. AU varieties displayed two band zones by ADH and Rf values were 0.63 and 0.6 (Table 2, Fig. 2). 2. There were five band type for ADH isozyme of 37 varieties classified with isozyme banding pattern. According to the isozyme band type 7, 2, 6, 18 and 4 varieties belong to group, I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively (Table 2). 3. The varieties displayed single band zone for Esterase isozyme and Rf value was 1.00 (Table 2, Fig. 4). 4. According to banding type, Esterase isozyme of 37 varieties classified into 3 groups, 22, 8 and 7 varieties belong to group, I , II, and III, respectively (Table 2).

1차원 반도체인 nanowires (NWs)는 전기적, 광학적으로 일반 bulk구조와 다른 특성을 가지고 있어서 현재 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 일반적으로 NWs는 Au 등의 금속 촉매를 이용하여 성장을 하게 되는데 이때 촉매가 오염물로 작용을 해서 결함을 만들어서 bandgap내에 defect level을 형성하게 된다. 본 연구는 Si(111) 기판 위에 Ga-droplet을 촉매로 사용을 하여 molecular beam epitaxy로 성장을 하였다. 성장온도는 600$^{\circ}C$로 고정을 하였고 growth rate은 GaAs(100) substrate에서 2.5 A/s로 Ga의 양을 고정하고 V/III ratio를 1부터 8까지 변화를 시켰다. As의 양에 따라서 생성되는 NWs의 개수가 증가하고 growth rate이 빨라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Transmission Electron Microscopy 분석 결과 낮은 V/III ratio에서는 zincblende, wurtzite 그리고 stacking faults 가 혼재 되어 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결함은 소자를 만드는데 한계가 있기 때문에 pure zincblende나 pure wurtzite를 가져야 하는데 V/III ratio : 8 에서 pure zincblende구조가 되었다. Gibbs-Thomson effect에 따르면 구조적 변화는 Ga droplet과 NWs의 접면에서 크기가 중요한 역할을 한다[1]. 연구 결과 V/III ratio : 8일 때 Ga droplet의 크기가 zincblende성장에 알맞다는 것을 예상할 수 있었다. laser confocal photoluminescence 결과 상온에서 1.43 eV의 bandgap을 가지는 bulk구조와는 다른 와 1.49eV의 bandgap을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

This trial was conducted at two locations to compare forage yield, plant height, disease reaction, lodging and maturity of oat(Avm sativa L.) cultivars introduced from Western Australia in comparison with the control cultivar of oat 'Cayuse" over a period of 3 yr. At Suweon, Swan and Murray cultivars gave the highest forage yield, followed by Winjardie and Hay cultivars during 3 years of trial, but Cayuse cultivar gave the lowest forage yield. At Sunghwan, Hay and Swan cultivars tended to forage yield more than other cultivars, but Cayuse cultivar was among the lowest yielding. AU the cultivars in the trial were moderately resistant to BYDV and lodging at two locations although differences exist among cultivars. Murray cultivar was early in maturity, while Swan, Hay and Winjardie cultivars showed medium, and Cayuse cultivar was later. Murray and Swan cultivars were tall in height and gave a higher dry matter percentage of 18~20% at harvest. The results of the trial indicated that Swan and Murray cultivars could be recommended as the national recommended forage oat cultivar when forage performance was considered.ered.

Electrical properties of Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts to p-InP were investigated as function of the V/III ratio of p-InP. P-type InP was made by the Zn diffusion into InP and activation process with rapid thermal annealing (RTA) measurement. After activation, the hole concentration was two orders of magnitude higher than that of the sample having only diffusion process. According to transmission line method (TLM) results, the specific contact resistance of p-InP was lower as used InP having the lower V/III ratio. The experimental results represent that the diffusion of Zn in undoped InP deeply related to the equilibrium between interstitials and substitutional Zn is established via indium interstitials.

We report a possible low-mass companion around the K2 III star $\varepsilon$ CrB (HD 143107). This star belongs to our sample of 55 K-giants studied for their radial velocity variations using the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) attached to the 1.8-m telescope at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). Our precise radial velocity measurements were obtained from February 2005 to June 2010. We find an orbital solution with a period of P = 419 days, a semi-amplitude of K = 137 m/s, and an eccentricity of e = 0.14. Assuming a moderate stellar mass of $M_{\bigstar}=0.77\;M\odot$, we calculate the minimum mass for the companion of m sini = $4.2\;M_{Jup}$ with an orbital semi-major axis of 1.0 AU.
